Two cloaked silhouettes stood silent in front of the abandoned building. The only source of light was the moon, and the small flickering flame of a candle that seemingly came from the building.

Hushed whispers were passed between both figures, before one drew his sword from its scabbard. The moonlight reflecting off the blade, and provided a look of the man who wielded it.

Wavy, lustrous blonde hair framed a handsome face adorned with calm azure eyes. But instead held a scowl in place of the usual smile he was known for. He pushed the door to the building open, wary for any creature that could attack him.

"Lesus," the blonde called softly as he wandered deeper into the house. Unsurprisingly, cobwebs and a rickety floor that creaked with every step were littering the areas where his eyes could see in the darkness.

Of all the places...

"Ah, ah. What do we have here, Neo Sun?" A cold voice taunted as a petite figure stepped out into the light. Long brown hair and dark green eyes decorated the face of a young - probably not even more than a day older than thirteen- teen-aged girl.

She wore a simple dress of red and white and a joyous but cold smile.

But a faint aura of omen surrounded her that didn't belong to a child- or living being.

"Scarlet."

Neo murmured darkly. He eyed the area around him, his sense of dread and disgust skyrocketing. The area was littered with corpses, and he could certainly smell the pungent stench of blood from where he stood.

"You killed them- innocents- and you still expect us to hand over your child?" He mocked as he nodded his head towards the corpses. Scarlet's eyes dulled slightly as she peered to look at them, a small frown tugging at the edges of her lips.

"They don't matter. However, he does. You don't want their sacrifices to be in vain, do you?" Her reply only infuriated Neo further. Lesus was several meters away, still too far to do anything or hear the conversation between the two.

"Sacrifices in vain?! You murdered them in cold blood, you wretch!" He screamed. The girl chuckled lowly, the dark element surrounding her growing thick.

She tilted her head, looking at the man with a eerie smile, "Wretch... Why am I a wretch, if all I wanted was to take back what is rightfully mine? Grisia belongs to me: He is my most precious son."

Quicker than she could blink, Neo charged forward. Aiming a killing blow to the head. The girl looked at him bitterly, the dark element around her expanded to a degree before two figures dashed out from behind her.

One figure parried the sword aimed at his master, and the other swiftly threw Neo back by the neck.

"Isn't it lovely how many people under your god's 'protection' die with so much hatred?" She inquired as Neo easily sliced one of her many summonings down.

Her attention was quickly diverted by the sudden outburst of another battle aura, her eyes narrowed at the pure black figure that stood to far from her physical sight. The man held a sword, that was currently skewering a death knight.

"And even the current Judgment knight is here! How wonderful; I'll kill you both then take back my child." Her face glowed with mirth as three more death knights ran over to deal with Lesus.

She surveyed the area, the smile on her face brightening every moment a death knight went down. The dark element surrounding her had began to fester itself into the walls and cracks, surrounding the entire framework of the house.

Neo took down another batch of the undead, feeling the pressure of overwork begin to pain him. That and the many cuts and stabs that littered his body begin to make him feel light headed. Strongest in history? yes. A one man army? Certainly. But even he would begin to lose hope of winning if wave after wave of undead would begin to attack him.

Suddenly, he snapped his head to the side, eyes widening at the cracks beginning to appear along the walls.

She planned this-!

"Lesus! Get out of here now, that's a order!" Neo yelled as he grabbed the hilt of his sword, swinging it down and disposing of yet oanother undead. Lesus looked up, his face grave as he unleashed another swing of his sword in front of him, destroying the undead platoon all together. He gave a curt nod and quickly dashed.

Neo looked back, his eyes narrowed at seeing the empty spot that was once occupied by Scarlet before bolting for the exit. He was slower and farther away than Lesus who only need to go a few more meters before leaving, and he already knew he would most likely not make it.

"I apologize, Chasel, I even endangered your student."

And before he could even reach over to try and shield his companion, the ceiling quickly collapsed on them.
